The risk of flooding is defined as a function of both the probability of a flood happening and its impact. In urban areas, the impact can be very high because the areas affected are densely populated and contain vital infrastructure. The reason for increased flooding in urban areas is twofold. Firstly, increased urbanisation has resulted in developments encroaching on floodplains, obstructing ...

The IPCC predicts that sea levels will rise by 0.6 to 1.2 metres by 2100. Not only does this mean that more areas will need protection from flooding, but existing coastal and river defences are likely to prove inadequate in many cases. Not only does the Neptune System provide a lower cost and more rapid solution for new flood defences, it can also be added to existing defences to increase their ...

Acoustic Doppler system (ADS) for continuous measurement of flow velocity in rivers The OTT SLD is an acoustic Doppler sensor system for the continuous monitoring of flow velocity and water level (optional) in rivers and open channels. The system guarantees reliable velocity measurements even in a flood situation with high sediment loads. The detection scheme for Ultrasonic level measurement is ...

The Situation: Hydrocarbons in water intake used for municipal drinking water and desalination systems are commonly limited to 1 part per million.
